Hack Trader Joe's Frozen Aisle For Unique Fusion Meals And Snacks

Fusion à la Trader Joe's

Unite Japanese and Italian flavors by pairing TJ's karaage with frozen broccoli and tomato basil sauce. The crispy, twice-fried chicken complements salted broccoli, a common element in both Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines. Dipping them into a fragrant tomato basil sauce with your fork or chopsticks enhances the dish with a refreshing, tangy twist.

India and Greece both feature pita and naan. While they differ, they share a delightful fluffiness and taste. Create a quick and satisfying gyro by combining Trader Joe's Tandoori naan with tzatziki sauce and the brand's fully-cooked lamb slices. To complete the meal, heat some frozen vegetables and wrap them inside the naan.

Kebabs have their roots in Middle Eastern cuisine, typically showcasing savory meats on skewers. However, why not adapt this concept for desserts? Japan offers a similar treat called hanami dango, a sweet rice delicacy. Craft your own version using Trader Joe's diverse selection of dessert mochi (rice dough ice cream bites). Skewer your favorite flavors for easy enjoyment. Combine coffee, chocolate, and caramel apple for a taste of autumn, or opt for a fruity mix with mango, strawberry, and vanilla.

Fusion cuisine is a wonderful way to explore new flavors while incorporating familiar tastes from your own culture. Try using Spanish rice to create a spicy vodka risotto, or top a French lava cake with a Chinese invention like ice cream. The possibilities for fusion are endless with the offerings in Trader Joe's frozen aisle.
